Space Centers
Space centers can now be destroyed in war. It is not easy but possible. The only weapons that can attack space centers is conventional long range missile. We may add more weapons to the mix at a later stage.
Space centers can be protected with a garrison that includes antimissile batteries and a sufficient numbers of missiles.
Airlifting Units and Wings
In the past, airlifting required that the unit which is airlifted, should be fully supplies with supplies, fuel and ammunition.
The requirement for ammunition is now dropped and units can be airlifted even if they are not fully supplied with ammunition.
Especially when moving units back to your country, full supply of ammunition is not necessary. The requirements for supplies and fuel remain.
Worker in Corporations
We have made another small round of reductions in the number of workers in corporations. The main changes are in weapon producing corporations but also some in other corporations.
The change will affect mainly the number of medium and high level workers needed and is another step in the balancing of the numbers of such workers.
Corporate Upgrade Advantages
Upgrading corporations becomes more profitable. The upgrades will further reduce the total number of workers in the corporation, make upgraded corporations more profitable and allow the country to set up more corporations due to the reduced numbers needed in current corporations.
Strategic Weapon Maintenance
A new product was added today. It will be used in the maintenance of strategic weapons. The product can be produced but it is not used yet. We will gradually introduce the product as part of maintenance and in the process reduce the use of other products that are used in maintenance, such as military services, services, high-tech services, electric power and more.
As a result, the cost of maintenance will not increase and some very deep shortages in the service products might be reduced a bit.
The main reason for the introduction of the product is to make the production of strategic weapons a more attractive proposition. Currently, some of these products are not produced at all or there are only very few corporations producing them. Then, when someone tries to purchase such weapons, it is impossible, for a long time, to get any.
Fearless Blue is the best place for such corporations because of the easier availability of the raw materials needed in the production.
Asset Maintenance Units
A new product was added today. It will be used in the maintenance of many mainly government assets in the country. The product can be produced but it is not used yet. We will gradually introduce the product as part of maintenance and in the process reduce the use of other products that are used in maintenance, such as services, high-tech services, electric power and more.
As a result, the cost of maintenance will not increase and some very deep shortages in the service products might be reduced a bit.
The main reason for the introduction of the product is to make the production of many of these products more attractive. Currently, some of these products are not produced at all or there are only very few corporations producing them. Then, when someone tries to purchase such a product, it can take a very long time before they are delivered.
Two more Metals were added to Simcountry
We have added Platinum and Mercury as new products to Simcountry. The main reason for this addition is the preparation for the addition of resources based functions to the game.
We think that the number of products that are dependent on availability in certain locations should increase. We have added several metals in the past, two today and several more are planned.
The products are not in use yet and will be phased in, in the coming weeks. The main uses will be in the general industry, the car industry and jewelry. Platinum is also used as catalytic convertor in many industries. |
